1 Introduction
The Sandberg Mini DVB-T Dongle (referred to
as "the adapter") upgrades your computer to
make it a real entertainment centre. With the
small adapter in your USB port, you can receive
digital TV as well as DAB and FM radio. The
whole thing is controlled easily by the software
provided, which makes it possible to record and
pause programmes, look at programme listings,
take snapshots, read teletext and much more.
An adapter for connecting an alternative aerial
is included.

3.1 Connecting the aerial
The aerial provided can be connected directly
to the adapter. If a different aerial is used, the
adapter provided must be used.
3.2 Aerial location
The aerial provided should be positioned with
space around it, preferably close to windows
and fairly high up.
If reception is very poor, check the reception
conditions for where you live with your local
digital TV provider. Not everywhere has good
enough reception for an indoor aerial to work
well.
